CEOAFRICA gathered that a fresh accusation has been added to the charge sheet of Senegal Ex-President’s son Karim Wade charged with illegally amassing a fortune of over $1 billion in April when he appeared before a Dakar court on Tuesday.

According to source, El Hadji Sall said they have no proof of their accusations against Karim calling the move an excuse to continue to remand his client in custody beyond legal limit, saying six months has passed that his client should have been released.

 The new charge however relates to an unexplained sum of 98.6 billion CFA francs ($205 million) which prosecutors say Wade deposited into several Monaco bank accounts.
